Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Sony Playstation Network Hacked

My son is anxiously waiting for Canada to get back up and going, he just bought a PSP Go with his birthday money. He was able to get the new updates etc., but the store is still down.

It was up yesterday for me in Eastern Canada. However, I am still waiting for my password reset email. Web page said it could take up to 24 hours.

Why isn't Japan back up yet? Because the government says, "no", until Sony shows the holes are plugged.

Good for Japan....at least someone is holding Sony accountable. Hopefully this makes it more secure for everyone.

I did see that PSN users are getting free games out of this.

I think I'm going with infamous and wipeout HD, but I am open to suggestions.

I think the US should've taken Japan's lead.

This is VERY sad (or pathetic really) for Sony. Fortunately, because of all these recent breaches, I sucked it up and made special aliases for different sites. I changed my PSN email and password.

I'm curious...what would it take for you guys to stop trusting Sony to the extent you stopped using psn?

Once they tell me the moon is NOT made out of cheese.

I mean, c'mon!!! Puh-lease!!

HAHAHAHA! That reminded me of this SNL skit. Hilarious!

By far one of my favorite impressions from SNL!!

That is a great skit, Cam!!

I haven't missed it much, but I don't use it much either. I certainly don't pay for the upgraded service, so at least I had no credit card info on file to get stolen. I don't know that they got anything from me that can't already be gained elsewhere.

I'm listed in the phone book, spammers have my email address. Beyond that I'd have to go back and look what else is in there, but I don't think it is much.
